TAL Life Insurance and Income Protection
TAL might be a relatively new name in the Life Insurance and Income Protection market, but the company has actually been providing Australians with Life Insurance and Income Protection since 1990. Formerly known as TOWER Australia Limited, the insurance company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Japanese-based Dai-ichi Life Company in April 2011, one of the world’s largest life insurers. After being taken off the Australian Stock Exchange, in June 2011 TOWER Australia Limited underwent a rebranding and changed its name to the abbreviated TAL Life Limited.
As of September 2013, TAL has dominated the insurance market with an in force annual premium growth, providing over 2.3 million Australians with over $1.72 million in premiums paid for the 2012-2013 financial year.
The company has consistently won awards since its 2011 rebranding, including Life Insurance Company of the Year 2012 (Australian Banking + Finance Awards), Life Company of the Year 2011 (AFA/Plan For Life Awards), Life & TPD Insurance Product Award 2011 (AFA/Plan for Life Awards) and Life Insurance Product of the Year 2011 (Australian Banking + Finance Awards).
